Digital technology is essential to create educational opportunities for a diverse AHP workforce. The educator workforce needs to embed future technologies whilst also considering environmental sustainability. AHP educators should maintain and develop their digital skills (managing information, sharing data, using digital skills in delivery of care) They should welcome innovation and critically evaluate new developments in clinical or educational practice prior to wider adoption into practice.
Steps for development in this domain could be to:
- Complete digital & sustainability training as per role, job description and professional body guidance
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge and skills needed to deliver and receive education as per role, job description and professional body guidance
- Evaluate effectiveness, safety and sustainability of new education developments or innovations
- Incorporate new, evidence-based developments into educational practice
